[quote=Anonymous]I started with a set of 5, 10, and 15lb dumbbells. There are so many exercises you can do with that. I just had trouble keeping up the motivation after 6 months of it. The best part was I could just do it for 3-5 minutes at a time and didn't need to work around a 30-60 minute formal workout each day. It really started to make a difference at 3-4 months. I need to get back to it so thanks for the reminder, OP.

Find the exercises you like and do those until you're bored and look up some more. Ask friends how they lift. I used stairs and chairs and couches and a bench at home for certain things. It's easy!

If you need a place to start, my favorites are:
Upper body:
Arnolds
-Bicep curls
-push ups
-lateral raises
-rows 
-dumbell fly

lower body:
-any and all squats my knees can take (I often just restrict the range of motion until there's no pain)
-calf raises
-deadlifts

core:
-planks
-bear crawls
-around the worlds

you really need to only pick 2-3 for upper and lower body and I only did one core each workout. I did it 2-3x week.

Enjoy!
